System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 253 Flooded Daliang City

Under the leadership of Duoyu, the Qin army captured the city and territory, first conquering Anyang, the capital of the Wei State, and then Chencheng and Beiding. At this time, Daliang City had become an isolated city.

But King Wei Hui had good intentions when he built Daliang. Not only did Daliang City have high and deep walls, but it was also surrounded by a criss-crossing water network, which not only served as a supply artery, but also could effectively block enemy offensives.

This dynamic and static balance, the combination of strength and softness of the defense system gives every army that attacks the beam a headache.

Many fish learned their lesson and turned their goal to capture the Daliang border area, and put all the water nets protecting Daliang into the hands of Qin.

In the evening, in the afterglow of the setting sun, many fish and others stood on a high hill outside Liangcheng, looking at Daliangcheng where King Wei was located.

"When I came here last time, Daliang was still an impregnable city, seemingly indestructible. Unexpectedly..." Meng Yuan sighed endlessly.

This fortified city that once withstood all the mighty armies was now immersed in the turbid river water.

"I guess when King Wei Hui built the city, he never imagined that these gaps, which were originally the lifelines of the beams, would turn into life-threatening ropes." Meng Wu glanced at the many fish without leaving any trace, and was filled with emotion.

This is the type of food God rewards! It seemed that capturing a Daliang City was a piece of cake for her.

No wonder my son talks about it at home every day, and the person he admires the most is her!

Many fish looked coldly at the hundreds of thousands of Qin's garrison soldiers and prisoners, digging up the Ying River and releasing the river water into the chasm.

Later, they built a stone embankment and dug long canals to skillfully block or guide the surging floods to Daliang City.

"Have the people who went to persuade them to surrender come back?" Many fish asked.

"Not yet."

"Then keep flooding." Many fish said coldly.

King Wei and the others were unwilling to see the Yellow River, so he could only satisfy them.

It's just a pity for those gorgeous palace buildings and prosperous market streets in Daliang City. Given a choice, many fish are naturally unwilling to destroy big cities.

Every time a city is rebuilt, huge financial and human resources are spent.

That's why many fish sent three groups of people in succession to persuade them to surrender, but there was no feedback at all.

"Are we continuing to besiege Daliang City?" Lian Po asked.

"Yes." The advantage lies with Qin. There are many fish and they are not in a hurry, so they naturally choose the siege with the least casualties.

The current results have made Xianyang very satisfied, and they have no problem with the many fish requirements.

After being besieged for more than two months, Daliang, which was flooded, has turned into ruins. Not only the farmland, houses, and streets were destroyed, but even the people in Daliang City did not know how many people were killed or injured.

Bodies continued to be thrown off the high wall, swept into the torrential floods, and disappeared quickly.

"After the great disaster, there will be a great epidemic, and there may be a plague rampant in Daliang City." Meng Zhuang was worried that the plague would spread to the Qin army.

"Your Excellency has ordered that drinking water in the army must be boiled before drinking, and doctors have been ordered to form an epidemic prevention team to inspect the military camps." Meng Wu also didn't understand where many fish got so many doctors, and each of them knew the epidemic prevention procedures by heart.

At this time, Lian Po strode over: "Your Majesty ordered me to build a granary near Dahe Wharf in the northeast of Xingyang. The camp to the east will be guarded by five thousand of your troops each."

"Here!"

After Lian Po left, Meng Wu couldn't help but ask: "The granary that General Lian went to build is a new permanent granary. It can store grain shipped from Hanoi, Hedong, Henan, and Guanzhong. It can store hundreds of thousands of grains." Although this achievement is great, it is still inferior to breaking through the beams. What do you mean by this, sir?" Meng Zhuan scolded him with a straight face: "The military orders are like mountains, you just do it!"

Meng Zhuan sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being the overlord of the place, he knew how to behave and how to control people. Lian Po's concession will allow him to smoothly integrate into the group of generals, and he will not be short of credit, and he will win many achievements with one stone.

The Qin Army camp itself has dozens of two-foot-high earthen granaries, each of which can hold about a thousand stones of grain. Many fish also want to build permanent granaries, either intending to search for food from Wei, or intending to use this as a springboard to continue marching towards Han and Zhao.

Many fish didn't have time to care what they thought. Wei Di, who had surrendered, still sent people to donate food. The granary that was half empty was full again.

For these surrendered Wei territories, many fish adopted the strategy of waiting for Fan Ju during the Battle of Changping.

That is, in the counties of Wei, people can be promoted to nobility by offering millet only once. They can be promoted to one rank at most, and the title they receive cannot be higher than Bu Geng.

In this way, you only need to give a few public servants and superiors, and you can get thousands of stones of food. It not only wins people's hearts, but also obtains actual benefits. It is very useful.

Just when many fish finished their business and went to the shore of Honggou for the day, the common people who were always paying attention to Daliang City let out earth-shattering cheers.

"Liangcheng is going to collapse!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a crashing sound like a huge boulder falling into water.

"Boom!"

Many fish hurriedly squeezed past, only to see that surrounded by a piece of turbid water, the angle between the north wall and the east wall of Liangcheng was like a melting and peeling iceberg, suddenly collapsing!

After being soaked by the river water for more than two months, the seemingly indestructible and thick city walls finally failed to hold up and collapsed completely!

The surging river water seemed to have found a vent, swarming into the city, rolling up small black dots and destroying the luxurious buildings of the past.

After a huge gap appeared in the impregnable beam, it was like a wounded elephant, being bitten by the wolves along the wound, tearing the wound wider and wider, until finally it could no longer bear it and fell to the ground.

In front of the flood, the Wei soldiers who tried to throw wood down to block the gap could only be in vain, and finally fell into the flood and disappeared.

The sounds of collapses, floods, calls for help, and wailings all composed a war song called "Flooding of Daliang City."

Many fish, Meng Wu, Meng Zhuang and others looked at this scene in stunned silence.

Such a destructive sight cannot be matched by any general, no matter how powerful it is, and it is something that many people will find difficult to see in their lifetime.

Qin Bing and the prisoners also stood on the shore, watching this scene. This was their masterpiece day and night for more than two months.

"I wonder if King Hui of Wei will choose to build Daliang City here again if he is given another chance?" Meng Wu said regretfully.

Duoyu: "Yes. At that time, the Wei State was strong and powerful, and the waterways extending in all directions could bring huge rewards to Daliang City. How could they believe that if the Wei State was weak, Daliang City would be defeated because there was no mountain to defend?"

Just like in the early days of every dynasty, it is believed that the new dynasty will last for generations.

In the city, the nobles and kings of Wei wept bitterly for the end of Wei, while the common people were terrified of the uncertain future.

Outside the city, thousands of Qin soldiers cheered! I am ecstatic about the title and reward I am about to receive!

"My king will be victorious! Qin will be victorious!"

Many Fish: "The beam has collapsed, and the Wei Kingdom has perished!"
